Syntax Error in ‘src/torrent/object_raw_bencode.h’ about libtorrent HOT 2 CLOSED

Just to note; I am auditing your code in general. What would be the easiest way for me to send you the things I find? There are quite a lot of issues in your code: you use variable-sized buffers all over, esp. in the memory management section... you really should probably use std::vector or perhaps a new type... but what you’re writing is technically incorrect and almost certainly insecure!— You declare enums incorrectly too; as if you were writing C not C++. I’m not 100% sure, but I also think you’re using std::bind incorrectly; or at least given the length of your arguments it’s very, very difficult to figure out if it’s secure or not.

Moreover, the code in general a complete mess. You misspell things all the time (I understand English isn’t your first language) and the documentation is awful.

Variable-length arrays are part of C99, and nice to use so I use them. While some uses of non-POD cases need to be fixed it is a limited issue. In those the other cases it is no more incorrect or insecure than their use in C99. Same for enums, what is C or C++ style doesn't matter.

And length of bind arguments only matter if they are incorrect, with type safety ensuring that the arguments are the right type.

Real examples of issues are whats needed, not generic statements on style are less useful.

Removed several extra semicolons.
